About Workplace Violence
As a healthcare worker, you are in regular contact with residents, visitors, and coworkers. When harassment or bullying occurs in the workplace, the impact on staff and visitors creates a troubled workplace. Facility operations are also disrupted with long-reaching effects. Workplace violence refers clearly to threats or actual use of physical force against a person in the workplace. In recent years, more healthcare workers have assumed a greater risk of exposure to workplace violence. In this course, you will learn how to spot, prevent, and respond to workplace violence.

The goal of this course is to educate staff in all healthcare settings on how to respond to active shooter situations.
Define the term active shooter.
Recall two different types of responses to an active shooter situation.

This course explains how upstream suicide prevention and community-based early interventions are important to target risk before people are in crisis. It identifies community-based early intervention strategies and programs across different settings. Lastly, this course indicates how to create environments and everyday interactions that support suicide prevention.

State the essential interventions to implement based on the level of identified risk.
Overview of Evidence-Based, Suicide-Specific Interventions
It was once assumed that addressing underlying conditions was the best way to treat suicidality. We now know that suicidal people need interventions that directly target suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Suicide-specific interventions will give you the tools to help clients manage suicide risk.
In this course, you will learn about specific evidence-based and research-informed interventions that directly target suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Through case examples, you will gain a better understanding of ways to implement these strategies.
The goal of this course is to provide addictions, behavioral health counseling, marriage and family therapy, nursing, psychology, and social work professionals with knowledge about evidence-based, suicide-specific interventions.

Summarize the process for completing a safety plan and for reducing access to lethal means.
Recall the factors you should consider when determining what interventions may be needed for suicidal individuals.
Reducing Risk of Suicide in Adolescents and Transition Age Youth
Suicide is the second leading cause of death for adolescents and transition age youth (TAY). This course provides an overview of risk factors, protective factors, and warning signs of suicide specific to this population. It also describes suicide assessment strategies and interventions that reduce the risk of suicide in adolescents and TAY.
Identify risk factors, protective factors, and warning signs of suicide in adolescents and transition age youth.
State three assessment strategies to identify suicide risk in adolescents and transition age youth.
Describe interventions that reduce the risk of suicide in adolescents and transition age youth.
Review of Active Shooter Response
Though active shooter events are rare, it is practical and necessary to be well-prepared for the possibility, especially when you work with the public. Between 2010 and 2020, The Joint Commission (TJC) received 39 reports of active shootings that resulted in 39 deaths at accredited hospitals (TJC, 2021). As a result, the Center for Medicare Services (CMS) and TJC require hospitals to prepare for all hazards, including active shooter or hostage events, and to work with their local law enforcement and emergency response agencies to prepare for and respond to active shooter events. Understanding the risks and motivations behind active shooter events, how your body and mind may respond to stress, and how best to prepare for an active shooter event is the best way to protect yourself and others should the unthinkable occur in your facility.
Identify the definitions, signs, and trends of an active shooter event.
Discuss the appropriate response to an active shooter situation.
Evaluate ways in which training and preparation can be incorporated into institution protocols.

Violence in the Acute Setting: Prevention
Workplace violence (WPV) is common in acute care settings, such as the emergency department (ED). It has negative consequences for patients, staff, and services, including a loss of staff that may lead to increased recruitment and retention costs.
Preparedness for WPV should not just be a burden for the staff. It should be implemented by the organization, which in turn should ensure that each unit is equipped to manage WPV.

Identify early warning signs and risk factors associated with violence in acute care settings.
Explain effective strategies used to prevent violent incidents.
